Yes, I saw that message before.  This really has nothing to do with whether
or not X2 will actually work down here.  The same messenger posted a list
of Countries and ISPs within those countries that would be supporting
X2 a fair while ago.  Australia was on the list.  I really think that its
a case of when, not if. (Any advances on 2015)
